The Last minute Jazz Game

Last Friday Andy came home from work and we were just hanging around. At 5 Andy went to his computer and then said "Well, we are going to the Jazz game tonight better get ready. We will be sitting in the third row so let's bring the kids". I though ok fun third row in the upper bowl is cool. We got the kids ready and headed to the taco stand for some dinner. When we arrived Andy lead us to the lower ticket office and from there we entered the stadium and went to the FLOOR. Yep we sat third row lower bowl. It was pretty dang cool.
Gibby loved it and wanted the basketball the players were playing with. He kept saying "BasBall Basball". Once the game started he could not keep his eyes off the game, until around the 2nd quarter. Etta hadn't taken a very good nap and so she was a bit tired but still loved banging her Jazz sticks and watching for Jazz Bear.
The funniest part was Andre Miller (who played for U of U) went to shoot free throws. He made his first one. Than Andy stood up and threw Gibby up in the air just as he was about to shoot. Andre missed the basket and started to laugh. Everyone around us went wild. It was hilarious.
At the 2nd quarter we had to get some ice cream to keep the kids awake and semi attentive for a bit. Then at the end of the third quart the man next to us bought us some Nacho. Gibby had been playing with him most of the game. The Jazz won, the kids were great 75% of the time and will most likely stay home if we ever get the oppurtuity again. (That 25% was no so great.)

How fun for you guys! Sitting close is always so much fun, but I have never attempted it with the kids....well kid! :) 75% is pretty good though, but hey there was a lot of entertainment there!

You should have called me to watch the kids so you could enjoy it even more. How cool to sit that close! The kids can't wait to meet Scocia. We'll have to come over and say hi this week, so they can see her.
